SNL 76/7 Cell Line from mouse

Mouse SIM strain embryonic fibroblast

SNL 76/7 clonally-derived from a STO cell line that expresses both G418 resistance and leukaemic inhibitory factor (LIF). The STO cell line was transfected with a G418-resistance cassette, RV4.0 (Thomas and Capecchi 1987), and a LIF expression construct (Williams et al., 1988). This cell line can be used as a feeder layer to support the growth of mouse embryonic stem cells. Inclusion of G418 in the media is not necessary for normal cell growth.

Split confluent cultures 1:5-1:15 i.e. seeding at 2-4x10,000 cells/cm² using trypsin/EDTA;5% CO₂; 37°C.
